I'm finding that on the stable version (1.1.0) both in this docker and the windows version that it can't correctly handle DTS HD-MA 7.1 sources.  It always defaults to the DTS 5.1 core with no ability to select the 7.1 track either for pass-through or conversion.  On the nightly builds, at least on windows, this has been resolved.  Is there any chance of getting a docker build with the nightly release?

Yes, it's already there: https://github.com/jlesage/docker-handbrake/blob/master/README.md#nightly-builds

Thanks for that.  Sorry if this a stupid question but does that mean that to install the nightly version I install a new docker and in the unraid container GUI I change the repository from jlesage/handbrake to jlesage/handbrake:dev-latest ?

Edit: Running on dev-latest at the moment.  It doesn't appear to fix DTS HD-MA.  Dev-latest appears to be a version from 28/5/2018.   I think the change to FFmpeg4.0 on the next nightly might have been what fixed DTS HD-MA (windows version that works for DTS HA-MA is b8c1375-master).

Yeah I need to fix the latest nightly which is currently broken.

Next nightly build should run correctly now.

Hi,

 

Is it possible to reduce the amount of cores this docker uses? when encoding X265 on my i7-8700 it maxes out all 12 cores and drags my Win 10 VM (running on NVME) to almost a halt!

There's a section in the docker FAQ on that

Ah, I am sorry, I have been all through the documentation on Github and cannot find anything that mentions cores? will carry on looking

Hi,

 

Thanks for that link, I found the same information from a different thread by googling in the end.. 

 

Reducing the cores does help my problem but not cure it so I am wondering if I have something wrong with my setup as I have a fairly beefy machine.

 

If I give the docker 6 of my 12 CPU's my VM is practically unusable, with 4 it is annoyingly slow with two it is a niggle (half second delay between mouse clicks)

 

anyone else using this method?

 

My VM is on a PCI-E NVME so cannot get much faster than that, I have 8GB RAM free in unRAID

 

If I run Handbrake on my WIN10 VM using all 12 cores I do not notice any kind of lag/slowdown at all?

I'm wondering if disk I/Os can have any impact.  Where is located the video you are reading from and the video your are writing to?  Did you try to have them on your SSD?

[mbc0]

Hi,

 

the video is located on my shares but I have been converting video's that way for years it is only since I have started using unRAID as my daily driver with a VM.  I can convert from the same source to the same source on my VM using Handbrake so don't think that is the issue but I am currently looking at CPU assignment (pinning) as this looks like it may be the issue?

[mbc0]

Hi,

 

Just to feedback, I disabled Hypervisor on my VM and problem solved! no more lag! ? thanks for input ?

[Luc1fer]

I can see that for automated conversions I can set:

AUTOMATED_CONVERSION_OUTPUT_SUBDIR=SAME_AS_SRC

 

I would also like to have all of my (GUI/manual) conversions to be created in /output/SAME_AS_SOURCE/Source.mkv without having to type he source directory every time.

 

Is there a way to set this?  (in windows you would use {source_folder_name} when you specify the default path).

Can you provide an example of what you would like to achieve?

I want to use the GUI.

I want to set an output folder eg:

/handbrake/transcoded/TV/

 

I want to select a video to encode eg:

/downloads/completed/TV/Firefly/firefly s01e01.mkv

 

I would like handbrake to then encode this file into:

/handbrake/transcoded/TV/Firefly/firefly s01e01.mkv

 

At the moment if I use the GUI with the above selection it will encode to:

/handbrake/transcoded/TV/firefly s01e01.mkv

 

So in short I want to be able to use the source folder (or output_subdir as you call it for automated conversions) when I select the path in the GUI.

To my knowledge the GUI doesn't offer a such functionality (at least with the Linux version).

is there a way to exclude a folder in the watch folder.

 

I am converting my Plex DVR recordings from TS to MP4 every night by starting the Handbrake Docker at midnight and shutting it down at 5AM.

The issue is all the videos i want to convert are in the folder but so is the plex .grab folder which is where the recordings are as the system runs.

Is there a way to blacklist a folder from the watching.

 

Thanks

Do you see that files in the ".grab" folder are actually being converted?  I guess that files in .grab are the ones that are currently being written and this is something that should be detected.

 

[Luc1fer]

I'm not sure if this belongs here or somewhere else (SABnzbd or Sonarr).

What I want to achieve is to have all TV downloads converted by handbrake, then organised by Sonarr. So I want my automated workflow to be Sonnar>SABnzbd>Handbrake>Sonarr.

 

At the moment I can get sonarr to send requests to SABnzbd, SABnzbd will download into the watch folder and Handbrake will convert, but I then need Sonarr to pickup the completed files.  At the moment I need to manually copy the completed files to the folder that Sonarr is monitoring for completed files.  I have been reluctant to set Sonarr to monitor the completed handbrake directory as I thought that it would start to process files while they were still being converted.  Is there a way to automatically move files once they have been successfully converted?  Maybe with post-processing scripts? Or is there a better way to achieve what I want?

You can use the post processing hook to move your file to its final location.  See: https://github.com/jlesage/docker-handbrake#hooks

Thanks for that. Hook worked.

 

For anyone else that wants to do this and also wants to copy the sub-directory of the converted file, this is my solution:

if [ "$CONVERSION_STATUS" -eq 0 ]; then

    DIR=$(dirname "${CONVERTED_FILE}")
    cp -r "$DIR" /[TARGET_DIR]

 

I found the basic script above had issues if there was no subdirectory or if there were multiple files in one subdirectory.  Here is my updated script (there is probably a much better way to achieve this as my bash scripting is very poor!).  Obviously replace path where needed, I should have probably used variables to set path... but I didn't.

 

if [ "$CONVERSION_STATUS" -eq 0 ]; then
    # Successful conversion.

    #source = /watch
    #output = /output
    #sonarr scan dir = /sonarr
    #subdirectory = $DIR

    DIR=$(dirname "${CONVERTED_FILE}")
    echo "converted file directory = "$DIR""
    SUBD=$(basename "${DIR}")
    echo "folder name = "$SUBD""
    if [ "$DIR" = "/output" ]; then
    echo "no subdirectory, moving to base folder";
        mv -fv "${CONVERTED_FILE}" /sonarr;
    else
        echo "moving $SOURCE_FILE to /sonarr/"${SUBD}""
        mkdir /sonarr/"${SUBD}"
        mv -fv "${CONVERTED_FILE}" /sonarr/"${SUBD}"
    fi
    
else
    :
fi

Does anyone have a post processing script for plex using handbrake?

Hello @Djoss,

 

thank you for the great container.

 

I run my server on ASRock N3150-ITX, which does not have much CPU power for conversion.

But using QuckSync would help a lot here, are there any news on this feature?

 

Very appreciated.
